This option is used to keep the on-air element always visible in the playlist panel.
The ‘lock on-air position’ mode is activated or de-activated by clicking the Lock
on-air button. When activated, the button background color becomes orange.
The mode is automatically reset when:
•
the user scrolls in the playlist, or
•
a clip, a train, a timeline or a growing clip is loaded on the channel, and
consequently, the playlist is unloaded.
The Lock on-air button is dimmed and unavailable in each of the following cases:
•
no channel is associated to the playlist panel
•
no playlist is loaded
•
the on-air element is not visible on the playlist panel.
